On the backs of fallen Kachoong-rades and drenched in beta spray, the moves up the face came as they do in dreams. Many minutes passed resting before launching out into the glorious roof, monkey mode at full steam. A swift heel toe cam and the continued support from Kachoong-rades nipped the thought of cutting loose for a piccie, and pushed me through the lip! The real Kachoong is the friends we make along the way

Some awkward beta through the lower corner, but moves throughout the rest were otherwise a delight. Impressive lead by Josh, I would have been squirming. Good composure.

No idea what the difference between this and one day hero is to be honest. The grade probably sits at 22/23 for whatever line it is.
Very sustained and pumpy. Threw a rope down from Kachoong, for a lap. Just managed to hold it together, but would be hard on lead.

Seconding Sean Peters. Surprise climb since everything else was wet, which meant I did this in my super-comfortable-all-day-fall-off-if-you-heel-hook Royales. Needless to say there were no heorics - I kept my feet on the whole time. Mega-classic, would lead in better shoes. Easier than 'The Janicepts' in my opinion. The gear in the roof is better than I expected too - there's a shelf that isn't visible from the cliche photographer's ledge.
For some reason the entire area around the belay terrace smells like dead animal though. |

Managed to have a bit of an epic here, planning a fast and light assault we scurried up form the car only to rap in and get the rope stuck on the bottom, then at the top. During this time the wind picked up and it started spitting, i started climbing on dusk and blew the onsight by nervously asking for gear beta. After some initial stress the climbing wasn't too hard and it was a really enjoyable pitch, unfortunately by the time I was ready to bring up a second it was dark and still windy and spitting.Luckily one of us had a head torch so i got that and rand down to retrieve my gear. After all that i didn't even get a photo so i'll have to come back!
Well worth it!!

Ahhhh sooooo good. Watched another guy take a massive whipper off the lip and got flashpumped on the 'warm up' 18, wasn't doing wonders for the confidence! Eventually gathered the kahunas and went for it - clipped the bolt, ran it out to the roof, plugged in two bomber cams and pulled the lip. Was in an amazing headspace the whole way. Such an iconic climb, send of the trip!
